当fedora 8内核版本yum更新到2.6.24.3-12.fc8时，vmware-config.pl就会再次报错，并且这时候用最新的 vmware-any-any-update115也过不去了...我的vm版本是1.0.4 build-56528。网上找到如下文章，按照所说的，解决了问题。

Unable to build the vmmon module.
No worries the solution is right at hand.
1、Get the vmware-any-any patch
2、After unpacking, go to the vmware-any-any-update115 directory and unpack vmmon.tar
3、Open vmmon-only/include/vcpuset.h and change the following line #include "asm/bitops.h" to #include "linux/bitops.h"
4、Open vmmon-only/include/iocontrolscompat.h and change VMMONVERSION_V6 to 167
5、Open vmmon-only/include/iocontrols.h and change VMMON_VERSION to 167
6、Pack a new vmmon.tar and then run runme.pl
The resulting patch
